Miraculous escape for tourists in Himachal accident

Kullu (Himachal Pradesh): Three people travelling in a taxi, including its driver, had a miraculous escape after their vehicle met with an accident in Himachal Pradesh.

The incident took place at the mountainous Patlikuhal-Pangah road in the Kullu district on Saturday.

The occupants of the car jumped out after it skidded off the landslide-battered road and hit an uprooted tree.

Driving on treacherous roads in the mountains gets riskier during annual monsoon rains in Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and other hilly states, especially when landslides hit the region.

Authorities put glow signs on roads and turnarounds to help drivers in navigation.
